Our long-standing strategy, Impact Green Bond, has been honoured with the Green Bond Fund of the Year award at Environmental Finance Sustainable Debt Awards 2026.
This annual award recognises market participants for the role they have played in the development of the rapidly evolving green bond market. This recognition is especially meaningful this year, as our flagship Impact Green Bond strategy celebrates its 10th anniversary.
Launched in 2016, the strategy was designed to go beyond financial performance by focusing on the environmental impact of the green bonds we finance and, above all, on strengthening engagement between bondholders and issuers.

To succeed, confidence and transparency are key in the green bond market. We want investors to better understand how their money is used and the impact it has. It is also important to distinguish between good and bad green bonds, while considering their financial performance. But above all, it is about engagement, and at Amundi, we have excelled at improving dialogue between bondholders and issuers.
A dedicated five-member green, social and sustainability bonds analysis team, likely one of the largest in the market, enables us to assess bond quality, engage with issuers, review reporting, refine frameworks, and promote greater standardisation, while ensuring the highest standards of transparency and reporting quality.
On this occasion, Alban de Faÿ, Amundi’s Head of Fixed Income SRI Processes and Credit Portfolio Manager, shares his insights in an interview on the evolution of the green bond market over the past decade and on how Amundi continues to stay ahead.
